Tan Zhongxia heard my analysis just now, but he still held an opposing attitude, almost wrinkled his face into an embarrassing word, and after thinking for more than ten or twenty seconds, he used a metaphor to summarize my very brainy words just now: "Do you mean to say that you killed my wife, and I couldn't catch you, so I killed Hu Hailian to take revenge?" ”

That's right, that's it, transfer the hatred to the scum and take revenge with a tooth for a tooth.

He said, "Shit, do you think it's possible?!" ”

I nodded solemnly and said, "It's hard to believe, but it's the only possibility that can explain so many doubts." ”

He clenched his fists and waved them in the air a few times to make a crazy look, then stared at me, almost gritted his teeth and said: "You killed my wife, because I couldn't find you, so I found Hu Hailian to replace you and then killed Hu Hailian the way you killed my wife, do you think this is possible?" Is there such a shift in hatred? Nerves can't be?! ”

He sprayed spit in my face, and I ducked back in disgust, wiping it off with a tissue, telling him not to get so excited.

I frowned and said to him very seriously: "Comrade Tan Zhongxia, solving a case is sometimes similar to engaging in design, the imagination must be ruthless enough, and the brain hole must be big enough to make a breakthrough." The murderer's process of committing his crime is also carefully planned, and we have to keep up with his rhythm to find out the flaws he exposed. What's more, I didn't really kill your wife, please don't get too deep into the drama and go crazy in advance, thank you. ”

He snorted through his nose, got up to get the teacup on the table, and snorted again when he came back to sit down, showing disdain and speechlessness. After taking a few sips of tea, he turned his face to look at me, and said in a sonorous voice: "If you kill my wife, I will find you even if I dig all over the world, instead of finding an irrelevant person to replace you." ”

I nodded and said, "Yes, this is a normal way of thinking, but this way of thinking can't explain the layers of suspicion in the four cases, so I will consider it in an abnormal way." ”

As I spoke, I leaned forward and asked him very seriously, "Hey, Deputy Captain Tan, do you have a wife?" ”

He was stunned, and said, "I'm just making an analogy." ”

I'm also very positive: "I'm just asking if you're married." ”

He didn't look like I was just asking and turning the page without mentioning it, so he had to reply, "No." ”

I frowned and said "Huh", very disgusted, and said, "Look at your age, why haven't you even got married?" ”

He grimaced and said, "Don't worry about it. ”

I laughed, "I'm kind." ”

He rolled his eyes at me, "You can't be kind to me." ”

I deliberately teased him: "Hey, without a wife, there should always be a girlfriend, right?" ”

He got a little annoyed, twisted his face to the side, and replied, "No." ”

I dwelled on this topic and said, "Hey, there are many single and unmarried girls in the bureau, you usually keep a few more eyes, or ......"

Tan Zhongxia saw that I had to get Bodpo endlessly, and he was a little impatient and wanted to get up and walk away. I thought he really didn't want to make this joke, so I quickly stopped it with interest, brought the topic back to the case, and asked him if he could agree with my analysis for the time being, and brainstorm with me on this analysis to see if I could dig out something valuable from it.

He sat up straight again, and said without hesitation: "Okay, then let's discuss the criteria used by the murderers of the four murders in our hands to choose the revenge replacement." Yesterday, I carefully studied the information of the four victims together, checked and compared, and found that they had nothing else in common except for misconduct, no common friends, no experience, no background, and then there was no similarity or even a little bit of relationship in terms of age, gender, education, ancestry, and so on. Looking at it this way, it seems as if the murderer randomly chose the target to be a revenge substitute, right? No, it's not random. Think about it, the three victims of the 'disembowelment case', the 'head smashing case', and the 'burning case' are all natives of Qianzhou, why is Yu Min, the victim of the 'Seven Knives Case', from Liangbao City? Judging from the results of our investigation of Yu Min, she had nothing to do with Qianzhou City before her death, but she suddenly came here and was robbed as soon as she got off the train, and it was obvious that the murderer went to Liangbao City to trick her into killing her. Therefore, the murderer definitely did not choose the target randomly, otherwise why not find a scumbag in Qianzhou nearby? Where in Qianzhou are there only three scumbags, and there is no fourth? ”

I listened to him finish this long series of words in one breath.

I don't know why, every time I chat with Tan Zhongxia seriously or analyze the case, my trigeminal nerve will ache a little. Sometimes it's because he's out of bounds, sometimes it's because he's hiding too aggressively, but this time it's because he's got the truth and hit the nail on the head, poking out a huge suspicion about the case that I thought could be explained.

Yes, why are the victims of the other three cases all locals from Qianzhou, but there is also a Yu Min who is from Liangbao City, which is more than a thousand kilometers away. The murderer went to such a long distance to trick her into Qianzhou City to kill, and it must not have been done occasionally.

It's inevitable.

In other words, Yu Min is the target who must be killed.

That said, the lazy analysis may be right, these four victims are not as revenge substitutes that the killer randomly found as I thought?

I felt like my brain was going to blow up.

Tan Zhongxia stared at my face, and snorted from his nose without showing any emotion, laughing at my assertion that I thought I was as strong as a city wall, but I just blew on it and collapsed. I couldn't get used to seeing him like that, so I snorted through my nose and asked him what he had gained.

He thought for a moment and said, "You can't count it as nothing. ”

I would like to hear you.

He said that he had arranged a large number of police forces to secretly investigate suspicious groups and figures in Qianzhou City, and in one fell swoop eliminated three pyramid scheme dens, a fraud gang, and two gangs that used online social platforms to sell ~ prostitution, and the harvest was quite rich, but unfortunately it had nothing to do with the case to be investigated.

I said that I had a black line on my face, and I wanted to taunt him a few words, but I was afraid that he would be angry, so I had to give up.

Then both of them fell silent, and I heard Xiao Hai playing the snake game on her phone at the other end of the hallway.

After more than ten minutes, Tan Zhongxia reopened his mouth and asked me if I had analyzed the case from the point of the murderer.

I asked him if he meant profiling the murderer.

He nodded.

I said, "I tried, but it didn't have much effect, because I wasn't sure how many murderers there were, so the content of the profile was very chaotic, and there were all kinds of factors." ”

He asked me to tell me about it.

I will tell him in detail, judging from the scene of the "fire case" alone, the murderer should be a man with great physique and strength, otherwise he would not be able to carry the victim who weighed more than 200 pounds, but from the perspective of a serial case, because the murderer is more than one person, and several people may work together to carry it, so this profile is not conclusive; The circumstances of the murderer in the "disembowelment case" are relatively clear, and from the footprints at the scene, it can be determined that at least at the location of the murder, he acted alone, and the accomplice who answered the case may have been on a cement road not far from the scene. That is to say, there is a man in the murderer team who is about 170 cm tall and weighs about 130 pounds, timid and cowardly, he is a person who has a normal life and is used to following the rules, that murder should be the most indelible event in his life, and it is estimated that it will cause great psychological trauma in the future, of course, this is not within the scope of current analysis; In addition, I carefully looked at the wounds on the corpse of the "Seven Knives Case", which were basically flat and not too deep, and there was no case of opening the flesh or using too much force, so I thought it should be a woman who is calm and careful and has a certain ability to control; The investigation report said that there was a maple leaf brooch studded with diamonds next to the body, but it was possible that it was originally there and had nothing to do with the case, or it was more likely that the murderer deliberately threw it there.

Tan Zhongxia listened very carefully.

As I spoke, my mind was racing to think of the physical evidence that seemed to be relevant but was not really useful at every murder scene, such as women's cloaks, murder weapons, footprints, brooches, etc.

From the very beginning, I felt that those things were not casually present at the scene, or accidentally left by the murderer, but a kind of sophisticated design, deliberately left by the murderer.

The more I thought about it, the clearer my thoughts became, and the cooler the back of my neck deepened, and I could almost feel the gust of wind.

Yes, all of this is designed, the location of each crime, the way the victim died, the objects left at the scene of the murder, all of these things are designed.

Someone draws all the drawings before the first murder starts, and then just follows the drawings step by step.

So the most important thing is not the people who carried out the murders, but the ones who drew the drawings!

We should now not profile the behavior and psychology of the murderer in a single case, but should look at the whole case as a complete one, and profile the behavior pattern and psychological trajectory of the chief designer.

This is definitely the right direction.

I told Tan Zhongxia these thoughts, and then exhaled heavily and asked him if he needed to find a psychologist to do foreign help.

I told him that I knew a very powerful expert who had studied criminal psychology and had written several suspects in several vicious murder cases in different provinces and cities, with remarkable results, and had also come to Qianzhou to give lectures on this topic.

Tan Zhongxia was not very interested in asking for foreign aid, and said: "You apply to Captain Fu for this, it's useless to tell me, I don't care about these little things." ”

I listened to his tone, it's really amazing, it's really a bit like Bai Yafeng said, treating a deputy captain as an emperor.
